#6 TITANIUM Ultraflex Nib Units and Assemblies

/

Osprey Pens Titanium Ultra-flex Nib units are available in Extra-Extra-Fine, Extra-Fine, Fine and Medium tip sizes. The nib is springy, and has more give than a stainless steel ultra-flex. When writing with it, the nib feels softer than stainless steel and is reminiscent of old vintage flex nibs.

If you have already purchased an Osprey Milano, Scholar or Madison fountain pen, you can now buy replacement assemblies or just a nib unit.

The assemblies cost $49, while the replacement nib units are priced at $45. The additional parts that come with the assembly are the generic outer grip section and the osprey converter, that you don't get with just buying the nib unit.

If you are buying an assembly for the Madison series, it comes with a generic Clear grip section, and if you are buying for a Scholar or a Milano, it comes with a generic Black grip section.

Note that the #6 ultra-flex Titanium nib units come with custom ebonite feed to keep up with ink demands of flex writing. These units do not accept International converters or cartridges and work best with the wide-mouthed osprey converters, designed specifically for use with ultra-flex nib units ( you may want to add spare converters to keep in stock as you shop this nib)

Do not use India Inks, they can clog the ebonite feeds. Fountain Pen inks are recommended. Few examples of inks that worked best with ebonite feeds as reported by our customers:  The Noodlers standard Black , MontBlanc Burgundy Red ink, Herbin Perle Noire, Platinum carbon Black, D'Artremis document Black ink, Pilot Iroshizuku line of inks, Rohrer & Klingner Black SketchINK.

Pls mention inks that worked best, and inks that didn't, if you leave us a review (very grateful for that!). You know and we know that a big part of getting the most out of any pen is to get the nib/feed/ink combination right, especially with the flex nibs.

Small tips: a) ITo get the ink flow going right away, wet the brand new nib unit in a soapy solution before fitting it in the pen. b) Make sure to rinse the nib and feed right away after use, if you suspect the ink has any pigments that could gummy the ebonite feed.

Disappointed

I bought an Osprey pen with the Titanium Ultraflex nib.

There were three problems:

Firstly the ink went right up between the nib unit and the pink translucent body of the pen. It looked awful; this has never happened with other pens which I have.

Secondly,.There was no flex in the nib. None

Thirdly, the first ink I tried was a Graf Von Faber Castell. The ink literally ran out of the nib. I tried various other inks. The least awful was Iroshizuko Yama Budo. I wrote in a variety of papers but there was still so much ink flow that the ink soaked through the
Tamoe River Paper -I do mean soaked through,not showed through. Rhodia paper fared little better.

As you can imagine I am very, very disappointed. The pen is beautiful but not usable with this nib.

Smooth and Soft Nib, Excellent!

I had the opportunity to try all the sizes and finally got the medium one. In a short time, I tested it with some of my inks and here are my impressions so far:

1) J. Herbin Rouille D'Ancre
While this ink shades beautifully with this nib's impressive flex, it had pretty dry flow most of the time and I experienced some railroading.

2) Pilot Iroshizuku Fuyu-Gaki
As expected from an Iroshizuku ink, this one flows smoothly. Well, maybe a bit too smoothly. While there wasn't any railroading, I think this ink was actually too wet to be used in a flex nib like this with an ebonite feed. When used with no pressure, I had pretty thick lines with less precision where they were otherwise thin and precise. Still it is a lovely color and I haven't had any issues about bleeding when paired with Tomoe River 52gsm.

3) Parker Quink Black
This is my favourite so far! While it's not as wet as Fuyu-Gaki, this ink still flows well and I think this is the one that was able to catch a balance between too dry and too wet. There wasn't any railroading even when used in long sessions. Dries reasonably fast with a bronze sheen. Being classy and affordable to keep up with this "fountain" of a fountain pen -an ink drinking monster really-, this one was my favourite performer. Both on the paper and in the wallet.

As advertised. A very nice product.

The thick one is good, but the thin one is not very thin, so it's not very good. If this is the case, the G-pen unit would be better.
